Well i think i have gotten it close to where it needs to be again, in throttle off idle im rpm'ing at roughly 900 rpms...if i lift the throttle to WOT it was rising to the 4000 4500 range but not quite to 5000 5500. and after running for a while and switching back and forth it only seemed to go as high as 3000 rpms again...so i dunno. its close, the shaking isn't that bad i'd say normal vibrations from running. still have a little grinding when shifting. still have the unknown sludge in the water tote...not sure where thats coming from or why. Now, if i can just get those shock absorber bushings and a new transducer and or fish finder i'll be ready to go out again i think.
